    Hey guys -

    This is a great forum. I just recently bought my first VFR, an 87 700. It has a healthy 62k miles on it but is running nice and smooth. I'm getting ready for a cross-country ride soon and am wondering if there are 'VFR specific' maintenance issues I should be aware of for a high mileage VFR like this, outside the regular maintenance schedule? Does anyone have distance touring experience on a 2nd gen bike, and if so did you encounter any unusual problems? I'm confident in Hondas but can't hurt to ask :smile:

    Thanks, and see you on the road! I'm in Portland, OR, by the way, see a number of VFRs around here.

    Here's a shot of the new bike - good shape though previous owner dropped it on both sides! ...the fairings are a little scratched but OK otherwise

    Welcome to the group, CMA. My one suggestion is to make sure your charging system is in good order. Regulator/rectifiers (r/r) are a known failure issue, make sure your battery is in good shape and that the r/r is doing it's job. :)
